Get "Worthless" before you co-sign that college loan for your high school son or daughter

Here is a little advice for anyone out there getting ready for college or a parent about to co-sign an education loan agreement.

There is a Plan B or an alternative to going to college, getting a worthless degree and having to pay back a huge loan.

Don't get me wrong.  We want young people to get an education and ready for a very competitive international economy.

I just agree with Aaron that high school students should reconsider the path of automatically going to college.   They should look at vocations, technical degrees or military service.

Read Aaron Clarey's "Worthless" before you sign that promissory note or send that kid off to college.

"Mojito" makes me think about Cuba's future

We spoke with Brian Lloyd French about his book "Mojito".

We would definitely recommend the book.  It is a good read.  It also made me think about Cuba's future, a topic of interest to many of us.

I happen to be optimistic about Cuba's future.  The island will probably go through a confusing transition after the Castro brothers die naturally or some other way.

My guess is that the US will step in and provide the kind of cash and assistance that the new government needs.  Also, Cuban-Americans in the US will be a part of remaking Cuba, from a communist country to a new democratic republic. 

Yes I am optimistic but also realistic enough to say that the transition will be hard.

Read Brian's book.  It is a good and compelling story.  At the same time, it will make you think about a future Cuba.

What a way to end the 2012 season!

The 2012 season goes on....and it does not include the Rangers.

A week ago, we were playing the Angels and looking ahead to the Division Series, the LCS and even the World Series.

I had a bad feeling tonight when Hamilton hit into a double play and killed a 1st inning rally.

Like the A's series, the Rangers could not get a clutch hit, an opportune single or double that put them back or ahead of the game.

What happened in the last 10 games?  I don't know but fans will call it "collapse" and it's hard to argue with that.
